Brazil Leave It Late Against Japan
The dramatic fan reaction followed an equally dramatic contest on the field. Brazil were pushed to the limit by a spirited Japanese side that stunned the five-time world champions by taking the lead before half-time through Kaishu Sano.
The midfielder capitalised on a misplaced pass before confidently finishing to register his first international goal.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side responded after the break with much greater urgency. Casemiro brought Brazil level with a powerful header from Gabriel Magalhaes’ delivery, before Vinicius Junior came close to completing the turnaround only to be denied by Zion Suzuki and the woodwork.
With extra time looming, Brazil found the breakthrough in stoppage time. Bruno Guimaraes threaded a perfectly weighted pass into Gabriel Martinelli’s path, and the Arsenal forward calmly beat Suzuki to spark wild celebrations inside Houston Stadium.
The late strike secured a 2-1 victory for Brazil, keeping their hopes of a record-extending sixth FIFA World Cup title alive. Japan, meanwhile, were left heartbroken after coming within minutes of forcing extra time.
